EDDY's HISTORY OF UNIVERsALIsM.
(From the New York Independent

The New York Independent, of re.
cent date, contained the following notice
of the History of Universalism in Amer
lea, by Rev. DR.. Richard Eddy
1.-THE second volume of DR.. Richard
Eddy's Uniuersalism IN america uni
versalist Publishing House, Boston,
1851 brings the history of the Univers-
alist denomination from the beginning
of the century down to the present
year The first volume, which we no
ticed last year, traced the beginning of
Universalism from various sources and
of various ages down to the rise of
American Universalism, and thence on
to the end of the last century. In the
two volumes we have, therefore, all
that the general student of church his
tory will need to know of the rise and
development of Universalism, and in,
perhaps, the most acceptable form-the
documentary and annalistic; a copious
index and an admirable photography of
over hundred pages adding to the val
ne of the work, and making it we'll nigh
indispensable. The core of interest in
the second volume is the history of the
restoration controversy, occupying about
eighty pages. The rest is devoted to
the development of the denomination
in various states, the perfecting of its
organization, and the establishment of
its various interests, the first chapter
containing, among variety of interest
ing information, Geographic and other
wise, an account of the adoption of the
Winchester confession of belief. The
restoration controversy, which is now
only matter of history, was a very
sharp one during the twenty years or
more of its existence, and divided and
distracted the Universalist camp. The
two disputants, who began the contro-
versy at the instigation of a mutual
friend, the Rev. Jacob Wood, were not.
at the beginning, divided on the sub
ject of punishment after death. The
Rev. Edward Turner's belief was more
settled than that of his antagonist,
Hosea Ballou, who held with Turner
and most other Uniyersalists that the
Scriptures teach punishment after
death, but was SO little tenacious of the
belief that he was quite willing to take
the opposite view for the sake of con-
troversy. In the letter to Mr.. Turner.

"Good- Will Songs" is the first publica-
ton of the accomplished singer whose
beautiful voice is frequently heard in
Universalist meetings. 1t is an admir-
able compilation of the best hymns and
tunes with original contributions of
words and music. The music is OF high
order, and the arrangements show excel
lent taste and skill. The fitness of words
and music has been consulted through
out. Hymns and tunes have been added
because of their natural sympathy with
each other, and not merely because the
mechanical requirement of the metre was
secured. Some of the finest composers
are represented in its pages. Mr.. Mitchell
says: "It is believed that the compila-
ton will commend itself to all of Chris
tan Faith, and to all who, clearly or
dimly, are possessed of the Christian
Hope" First published in 1883. It has
been warmly welcomed in many churches,
East and West.

resolutions were passed:
WHEREAS, The Rev. j. NJ. Payson has ten

MINI:
Now, therefore, be 1t resolved, py said church
and society, that we do, at his earnest request,
and with the deepest regret, accept said resig-
nation, hoping that what is our great loss will
prove to be his gain.
Be it further resolved, that we do hereby
tender our most sincere thanks to him for his
earnest and untiring labors for this church
and society during his passionate.
Be it further resolved that we do hereby
tender him our heartfelt wishes for his success
in his new field of labor. and do most earnest

OHIO. = Mt. Carmel 1t is surely
gratifying to the members of the church
and Sunday school Of Mt. Carmel to an
nounce that the Christmas exercises pre-
pared in the Helper were rendered in
most creditable manner. In word and
spirit, it was truly a success. Every
thing was in harmony with our highest
aims. Exercises opened with an organ
voluntary, Miss Mabel johnson presiding.
Select readings, Rotations and music,
followed. The notices and decorations
were artistically arranged, much to the
credit Of Br. e. ID. Phillips. There were
also side lights throwing their rays upon
the path of the Pilgrims Progress. TWAS

Dec. "a, was observed for the Christmas
festival and fully rugged boat was lad
en- and trimmed with the numerous pres-
ents for young and old, and pleasantly
passed from the hands of Santa Claus
through the audience by the dozen little
"tars' in sailor suits, making the scene
both new and novel; all passing off joy
ously.
Rev, James GOrtOn.-Cedar Falls and
West Union have called Rev. James Cor
ton, recently of Charlotte, Mich, and he
accepts and will commence his work at
once. This is a good addition to the
working force OF Iowa. Now let the peo-
pie do their duty and strong parishes
will be built up at both these points.
KANSAS Frankfort Rev. Joseph
Wilson writes: "Ten years ago, when we
settled at Frankfort, the Universalist
faith was not known among the masses Of
the people. Now, there are over forty
who profess to believe in our comforting
faith, and the number is increasing. We
expect in the near future to erect neat
little chapel. The writer did not settle
at Frankfort ten years ago because there
was a Universalist church established,
but because my lot was cast here, and
had faith that, by my constant efforts
in the ministry and the blessing of God,
our blessed faith could be permanent
ly established. I am now beginning to
see the end for which I have labored.
Frankfort is a thriving town located in
the valley of the Vermillion on the GEN.
trail branch of the Union Pacific railway,
surrounded with as beautiful farming
country as can be found in the West"

the Christian (Campbellite) church on q

among all, seldom seen here. An old
elder of the church remarked: eff Father

MINNESOTA.-R0ch .--Rsv. J. M
Payson has been pastor of the Universal
list church in this city for little more
than five years. He has resigned his pas
torate and goes to Lacrosse, Wis, tc
commence a pastorate there on the first
Sunday in January. Br. Payson leaves

He is an interchangeable worker and has the

RHODE ISLAND.-The Universalist

Club, of Rhode Island, met last month
in the vestry of the First Church in
Providence. After the collation., Rev. DIR.
g. 81. Emerson read paper in which he
sought to account for many of the cur
rent theological transformations, by re-
ferring to other than theological move
ments and causes. Remarks followed
from. Rev. Messrs. Cushman and
Weaver, and from 9. A. Lee and w. P.
Gannett and the essayist. The club &C.
cepts an invitation to share the hospital
tiles proffered by the Boston Club, at it's
next session.
CONNECTICUT.-Granby.-The little
flock at this place went shepherdless for
a season after the death of their pastor,
Rev. A. O. Loveland, but they are again
provided for. Rev. J. Chase, late of
Danbury, is working very quietly with
and for them.-The friends in Putnam
are to have a series of popular lectures
this winter, from which they hope not
only to realize something in pecuniary
way, but to show the people of that good
ly town their interest in intellectual en-
tertainments of high order.

same sentiment, and thought it would
be OF advantage, as the discussion could
be carried on with less warmth than
between men of opposite views. He
left Mr.. Turner free to choose the side
he would contend for and himself took
the other, and the debate began, grew
warm, drew in others, became general,
hot, bitter and divisive. OF course Mr..
Ballou came out Of the controversy en-
tirely convinced that "the Scriptures
begin and end the history of sin in flesh
and blood" The history of this con-
troversy is the history of many another
theological controversy, although it's
evil results disappeared much sooner
than those Of some other similar dispu-
tations. What effect it has had in
moulding the belief of Universalists on
the subject of punishment after death
it would be hard to determine. 1t is
notable that after long discussion, in
1878, on the question of the final des-
Ilny OF tne race and OF those who die
impenitent and in sin, the Universalist
ministers of Boston and vicinity adopted
declaration which acknowledges diff
ferences of belief as to after death pun
ishment, but contends that all are agreed
that the horizon of eternity will not be
overcast by the clouds of sin and pun
ishment, ''either largely or for long
time" They were also agreed in the
belief that whenever and wherever de-
liverance comes, it must involve peni-
tence, forgiveness, and regeneration.
And we suppose that they would also
hold the proposition that whenever and
wherever there is penitence, forgive

ISAAC HULL WRIGHT.
Leader, Dec. 49,

Few men have in any community been the
observed of 80 many observers as Col. Isaac
Hull Wright, who on Friday last was laid to
his rest, at the age of seventy-three years,
lacking but few days. man of grand
presence, of the accent and the power of the
orator, full of activity, of enterprise, born
leader of men, Col Wright has filed many
public stations-the gifts of citizens, of gov
ernors, and of presidents. He was colonel
in the Mexican war, was for time military
governor of Monterey, was political leader
under Zachary Taylor-perhaps did lions
share in giving to that presidential candidate
the State of Pennsylvania.
The first time we saw Col. Wright, he pre-
sided at an immense assembly in one of the
ship houses of the Charlestown Navy Yard, on
the 18th of June, on which occasion Edward
Everett was the orator. Col. Wright did
what Gov. Everett could not do-he made his
voice heard in every part of the vast build
ing.
COL Wright had the high honor of being the
son-in-l law of the Jonathan Edwards of Uni
versalist theology-the great man whose i'm
press was deeply made on the whole demon
ination-Rev. Hosea Ballou, for many years
pastor of the School st. Church. He was
married to one of Mr.. Ballou's daughters
Clementina, who survives him. In recent
years he has been connected with the Grove
Hall parish, and constant attendant upon
the services of the sanctuary. He was ever
a pronounced Uniyersalist in belief and sym
pathy.
The funeral service was held in the Colum-
bus Avenue church on Friday, DR.. Miner,
the pastor and the colleague of Col. Wright's
distinguished father in-law, conducting the
service, in which service it was the speakers
great satisfaction that he could speak author
itatively and strongly of the constant and
tender domestic love and kindness which
made the home of the deceased always happy
aud cheerful.
